How to store pastry (like pies and tarts) baked before Thanksgiving?!


Question: I want to do some baking today and tomorrow. I am making a pecan pie, apple tart tatin and a cherry tart. I am making the crust for all 3 and it is butter based.

Should I wait and bake them on thanksgiving or do you think baking them in advance is a good idea? I'm assuming that I should be refrigerating them because of the butter crust. Is this true?

Butter in the recipe with not make a difference but eggs and milk do. Anything with eggs and milk should be refrigerated.

You can seal them up tight and put them in the freezer.

Definitely wait until Thanksgiving morning to start baking. This way the pies will be hot and fresh around the time everyone sits down for Thanksgiving dinner.
